After work, I met with a group of my old co-workers from DDC and their friends at The Ginger Man in Midtown, Manhattan. We were preparing for a night out to celebrate of my old co-worker's birthday.

From McDonald's, we continued our way to Koreatown, stopping by a CVS to pick up a case of beer. From CVS, we walked to Gagopa. We stayed at Gagopa for approximately 2 hours.

Later, another group of my co-workers came to join us. Soon after, I left at around 11:30. It was raining when I left.​★ / 57.44

Pick out one thing you do not like about yourself. Change it.

After tonight's workout, I walked by a classmate whom I had taken many classes with. I coldly walked by him without saying hi. I immediately regretted my action, or lack of action for that matter. I walked to the locker room. In the locker room, I ran into another classmate whom I had taken many classes with. I said hi this time.

I need to change that about myself.

LOCKED OUT OF MY APARTMENT SATURDAY MORNING

I left my house keys at the CrossFit gym after my class Friday morning. I only realized that I left my keys at the gym by the time I arrived home early Saturday morning. My landlord had to break the door open with some gardening tools. It was all very embarrassing to say the least.

We visited a new pizza place, Rosa's Pizza, in Greenwich Village, Manhattan Saturday night. I ordered a slice of the chicken and bacon pizza. The pizza was very okay.

From the Donut Pub, we took the 2 train uptown. We visited a new bar on the west side. The themed bar was dark and edgy, very different from any other bars I had previously visited. Best part about night, Gus Kenworthy was at the same bar I was at. I wanted to ask for a picture. However, I was too shy to ask.​★ / 57.44
